He got rid of Szpilka and Price in 6 rounds. Am I wrong or "old" Chisora is better than he was young? Fast hands, more power, hooks and forehands very accurate. At times seems to see Frazier. Whats the secret of this rebirth for you?
Your opponents matter. You tend to look better fighting Price and Artur than you do Fury and Vitali. That being said.. he sounds like he takes training and nutrition much more seriously these days than he used to. Is that enough to compensate and outweigh his miles and age? I personally dont think so.
Sorry maybe Im wrong but Szpilka for me was a good opponent...he resisted 9 rounds with Wilder and I honestly cant think ( as somebody tells ) he was no more the same after get knocked out by Wilder so that Chisora fought a damaged fighter
Chisora - through hard work and lots of luck - has been making fantastic money without ever holding a belt. IMO its good to see and a great example for the younger fighers. If you work hard and show your fans you are going to go out on your shield each fight if need be, even with limited skills you will achieve good success.
First.... thats not even the point. Second... if you dont think that three years, and two stoppage losses made a difference in the Artur that Wilder fought and the one Chisora fought... then, well... have a good day lol. ... Again though... your post missed the entire point
Yeah I know my post missed the point sorry.. I wrote it only to tell Szpilka was a good opponent for Chisora.
Chisora definitely bounced down to one knee and came right back up just like Frazier did against Foreman, when Price connected with that uppercut at the end of the round.
No Szplika was done by the time he fought Chisora.Better example would be how he fought against Whyte for 23 rounds and could of got the decision in the first fight.Dillian Whyte is good opposition and you’d of thought his youth,power and skill would be too much for the old Chisora but not a bit of it. I totally agree that he looks better,more focused and fitter than ever.
I don't think Chisora has really had much decline, or improvement in his game. It's all about how focussed and motivated he is for each fight. If (as rumoured) he's cut down on the partying and taking training and looking after himself more seriously in the last couple of years (since hooking up with Haye), that's why we've seen him have more success.
Anytime one studies boxing they HAVE to compare other fighters from other eras ….if they aren't doing it they are blind. Chisora was always a bigger version of Frazier ,with less ring IQ but bigger girth to push guys around. Chisora in shape is a hard fight in any era...the era isn't fighting the fighter is...its why knuckleheads discredit fighters now...we know who they are on here! Frazier and Chisora however have no histroy bc Chisora didn't fight Ali,...FRAZIER did and gets more historical value . The difference between the two is desire and wanting to be the best who is Frazier ,even though Frazier had a clearer road with just Ali , not multiple crazy match ups, remember Chisora ran into a guy named Vitali …...
